FEATURES

Sophisticated accurate sound signature with abundance of detail

Original sound without emphasis of frequencies

Designed to perform best with high-resolution DAPs and headphone amplifier

Build Quality: Very Nice. Feels and looks nicely finished, I rather like braided then sheathed cables, nicely detailed buds too.

Isolation: Pretty reasonable. Not Tube or long flight level but be fine for most normal uses. With the Comply’s on it’s towards the upper side of what you get from dynamics. That means you need to keep your eyes open for killer traffic.

Comfort/Fit: Very good on both fronts. A fairly ordinary shape and moderate weight. I wore up but if you wear down, I found the mic (like they usually do) would catch on my collar and that’s irritating on the ear. Worn up it didn’t happen.

Aesthetics: Pleasant. Much like their sonics, pleasant, amenable, on the nicer side of ordinary but not attention grabbing.

Sound: Very pleasant. It is a bit on the middy side for some but that I personally rather like. By rather I mean quite a lot. It’s also a bit elevated in the bass making for an overall all quite rich, warm sound. Smooth, mellow and rich. I could easily listen to it all day long without issue and let them just melt away into the background. No attention grabbing, slap you in the face, PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!!! IEM’s here. It’s all very nice. The treble is a little on the genteel, again that’s fine by me. So much niceness and pleasantness. An acoustic warm, milky, gently smooth coffee. A thrill machine this is not. It is, well, it is just nice. Vocals are lovingly rendered and the bass it quite articulate and pleasant. Pleasant, pleasant, pleasant and if case you were in any doubt, pleasant. Lol, when you get something as just nice as this it makes it had to say things about it. It is very nice to listen to and it can turn it hand to anything, offering a highly competent and pleasant listen. I could listen to music from it all day and you never really hear the E50 parting its own feelings to the subject. It’s a pleasantly enjoyable IEM to listen to no matter what you play on if or what you play it from. Pleasantly unobtrusive.

Value: Nice. It’s a goodly pleasant generalist with a bit of a mid centric talent. Should also be able to perform exemplary from any phone you pair it with too. It’s as nice value as it sounds nice. I do love the computer compatible cable though.

Pro’s: Nice. Pleasantly pleasant. Mids are particularly nice.

Con’s: If you want a rambunctious party beast, this is not it.

E10 upgrade by Danielon 24/03/2015

I've owned the SoundMAGIC E10 for the last three years and decided on an upgrade (giving my E10s to my son). I'm listening on the move with an HTC One M8 and at work with a Topping AX2 headphone amp. Below is my detailed review:

SOUND Bass is well defined and with good impact (make sure to use the supplied Comply tips). Much more midrange detail than the E10 - I'm hearing far more in my music. I perceive the E50 has having less bass than the E10, but this could just be due to the extra detail in the trebles.

FIT The fit is the same as the E10, but the E50 comes with Comply tips that give a much more comfortable fit in the ear.

BUILD This is where the E50 really shines. The new 60 degree metal jack plug is a really solid piece of engineering and the cabling is the same high quality twisted copper cable that came fitted to the E10.

OVERALL For the money this earphone is hard to beat. I've owned earphones costing three times this that feel less well engineered and sound worse.
